  • Dynamically configurable and re-configurable data path
    Patent number: 9564902
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a configuration memory coupled to one or more structural arithmetic elements, the configuration memory to store values that cause the structural arithmetic elements to perform various functions. The apparatus also includes a system controller to dynamically load the configuration memory with values, and to prompt the structural arithmetic elements to perform functions according to the values stored by the configuration memory.
    Type: Grant

  • Clock driven dynamic datapath chaining
    Patent number: 8516025
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of datapaths, each having structural arithmetic elements to perform various arithmetic operations based, at least in part, on configuration data. The system also includes a configuration memory coupled to the datapaths, the configuration memory to provide the configuration data to the datapaths, which causes the datapaths to collaborate when performing the arithmetic operations.
